The Liberal Internet in the Postliberal Era

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the internet's role as a key institution in the post-Cold War liberal order, analyzing the rise of digital sovereignty in Asia and Europe and the emergence of private governance within digital networks. Johannes Thumfart argues that these developments signal a shift towards a postliberal era, challenging traditional liberal ideals like state and net neutrality. Engaging with various thinkers and empirical research, he advocates for a flexible approach of neutralization for states to navigate the complexities of this evolving digital landscape.
